SLEEP QUALITY IN PATIENTS WITH MYASTHENIA GRAVIS – A REVIEW OF STUDIES
Aim. The aim of the presented review is to analyze the available research on sleep quality in patients with myasthenia gravis.
Material and methods. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library. Among the 1025 identified records, 20 underwent full-text assessment, and 7 met the inclusion criteria.
Results. Patients with myasthenia gravis demonstrated reduced sleep quality, most frequently assessed using the PSQI. Symptoms
such as fatigue, depression and anxiety were also reported and were associated with poorer quality of life.
Conclusions. Sleep quality in patients with myasthenia gravis is significantly impaired and requires comprehensive evaluation. The use of multidimensional assessment tools and consideration of clinical variables are recommended.
